Strange is that the ones who have the least financial resources are the ones who feel it’s necessary to prove their value by exhausting their limited time and even less monetary pool, copying an image of fame and fortune that does not exist. A myth in fact.

Spent last night watching so many Caribbean nationals celebrate Xmas Eve in St. Johns, capital of Antigua. It was to say the least, a tragedy that can be seen as comedy if I didn’t care about my fellow humankind.

Why do we have so many …
… (young) men dressed as Dandies, but trying to be Shottas ?
… (young) women dressed and acting like Kim Kardission, but want to be treated like Michelle Obama ?

And the common denominator is that financially lower class are the one’s who are emptying their bank accounts, borrowing money and foregoing investing in their personal growth, just to sustain this myth.

But trust me. This blog entry is my last attempt to deal with this issue in my mind. From now one, I will be silent and smile outwardly. On the inside, I will be disappointed.
